Bosque Again Wins
Living Room Honor
Again Bosque county carries off
honors in the living room demonstra-
tion contest conducted by the Exten-
sion Service of A. and M. College and
The Dallas News through the home
demonstration agent of the county.
Mrs. Henry Oswald, president ot the
Womack Club, whose postoffice is at
Clifton, won in the district over the
contestants of thirteen counties.
Watch Turkeys Carefully for Worms.
Hot months will undoubtedly bring
on infestations of intestinal worms in
turkey flocks of Bosque county. it
treated when the. symptoms first
appear, the loss will be much less
from this cause. • . .
Turkeys or chickens infested with
intestinal worms look droopy and un-
interested in surroundings and become
very thin in flesh in spite of heavy
eating. Some may lose ther appetites
and some will eat heartily. A slight
bowel trouble develops in the last
stages and the turkeys die a few at
a time. Upon examination of the sick
'birds, if the intestine is cut open the
worms will be found in clusters, some-
times so numerous a to clog up the in-
testines. Most infestations of intes-
tinal worms in Bosque county are
caused by tape worms, although the
round worms are found in some cases.
Several treatments can be recom- I
mended for ridding the birds of these
pests and most drug stores carry one
or more of these remedies. Several
drugs, effective are tobacco dust in the
mash, kamala, tetrachorethylene cap-
sules, nicotine sulphate capsules, and
a specially prepared bulletin on worms
in poultry or any other additional in-
formation can be obtained from the
County Agent.

one for the many kindnesses and ex-
pressions of love and sympathy dur-

- Middleton Charged with Murder.
H. C. Middleton, 30, of Royce City,
and Miss Lucille Mills, 20, of Dallas,
were indicted by a Dallas county grand
jury Thursday of last week charging
them with the murder on the night of
May 26th of Charles H. Brown, of
Houston. The couple was being held
without bond in the Dallas jail.
Until a few weeks ago, Middleton
resided in Meridian, being proprietor
of a filling station here for a period
of several months. He came here with
the gas company last fall, and with
his family took up residence here, but
left about two months ago.
Detectives planned to bring evidence
to support their theory that a man and
woman conspired to rob another mem-
ber of the Brown party at the spot
where Brown was killed and that the
Houston man upset their plans by
grappling with the robber.
Miss Mills, who accompanied Brown
on the night of the killing, denies that
she had any part in it.

Four Bosque county men and the
County Agent were in Coleman Mon-
day inspecting herds of cattle search-
ing for suitable club calves for the
club boys to feed for the 1931 Fat
Stock Show. Those making the trip
were: 0. J. Bronstad, Cranfills Gap;

and Mr. Morrison, Morgan. Some
outstanding calves were found but
most were later calves than were de-
sired.

bridge appointments at each table.
Mrs. J. M. Sales won the favor for
high score, a placque of handpainted
bluebonnets, and Mrs. L. Lewis was
awarded the consolation, a handpaint-
ed georgette handkerchief.
After games the hostess served a
refreshment course consisting of chick
en salad with wafers and olives, sand-
wiches and frosted orange punch.
Large bamboo trays were used for
the service, and in the center of each
stood a miniature bride adorned in
white bridal array with orange blos-
soms on the veil. These were given
as favors in a cut at each table.
At the honoree’s table Mrs. Grimes
presented her with a large, attractive
ly decorated hatbox tied with gold
ribbons. Upon opening the box the
bride-elect found it filled with the in-
triguing packages of a miscellaneous
shower. .
Guests included: Misses Charleta
York, Margie Hale, Mary Pearl Hale,
Mesdames H. D. Wintz, J. E. Robert-
son, F. R. Odle, J. T. McConnell, J. E.

Dr. J. H. Alexander was in attend-
ance at the annual Tarrant County
Clinics in Fort Worth Tuesday.
The rapidly approaching hot weath-
er will not interfere with the comfort
of patrons of The Bosque Theatre, the
new talking picture house here. An
orde rhas been placed for early in-
stallation of a large-size Arctic Nu-
Air ventilation system, which assures
temperatue 20 degrees lower than the
outside air in all parts of the theatre.
With this system fresh cooled air is
moved through the theatre at the rate
of 25,000 cubic feet per minute; in
winter the system is used to circulate
fresh warm air. The new system is
expected to arrive within the next ten
days or two weeks.
Attendance at The Bosque is very
satisfactory to the management of the
theatre, and the installation of the
ventilating system is being made in
response to the liberal patronage be-
ing accorded. Already as well-equip-
ped as probably any theatre in a town
of 756 population in Texas, the theatre
has not ceased to make further pro-
vision for the comfort of its patrons.
“Burning Up,” a new auto raceing,
all-talking thriller, starring Richard
Arlen and Mary Brian, will be seen
and heard Friday and Saturday.
Alice White comes Monday and
Tuesday in “The Girl from Wool-
worths.” Watch announcements for
big pictures coming soon.
A. and M. Swine Specialist Visits
County.
Most of the Boys’ Club pigs being
fed in Bosque county were inspected
June 5th by E. M. Regenbrecht, A.
and M. Swine Specialist and T. B.
Wood, district agricultural agent of
the Extension Service, who were in
the county with the County Agent at
that time. Both Regenbrecht and
Wood were very favorably impressed
with the quality of the pigs being fed
by the club boys, saying that Bosque
ranks among the foremost in the state
in this work. It is very probable that
Bosque county club boys will show a
group of 15 pigs at the Dallas Fair
in the club and open classes.
Marshall Royal, 25 years old, was
killed, and his companion, Ben Bate-
man, was badly injured last Friday
night when the car in which they were
riding missed the approach to the
Woody bridge, 2 miles from Iredell on
the Walnut Springs road.
The two men, both residents of the
Iredell .community, left Iredell about
9 o’clock to attend an ice cream supper
at the home of M. Webbs. The car
wreckage was not discovered until a-
bout midnight, when Bateman’s cries
attracted the attention of a passerby,
who freed the injured man from the
wreckage. Bateman was still uncon-
scious, and it was not discovered that
his companion lay dead nearby until
residents of Iredell recalled having
seen the two leave town together,
which led to search for Royal, who
apparently had been instantly killed
When the car left the bridge.
The two men had visited Meridian
friends Friday afternoon, and the news
of the fatal accident shocked friends
here.
Royal was born August 30, 1905,
near Meridian, and was the son of
Uncle Barney Royal. He professed
religion when 10 years old and was a
member of the Fairview church. Fu-
neral services were held at Iredell last
Sunday, with interment in Riverside
cemetery there.
Friends join in extending tenderest
sympathy to the bereaved family.
Jones Giving Real Service.
“If you handle goods of merit, give
good service and are accomodating,
people will seek you to do their trad-
ing, no matter where your place of
business is located.”
There is, at least, one instance, in
Meridian where the above quotation
applies; and this notice is calling your
attention to the Jones Service Station,
located at the intersection of the Waco
and Hillsboro highways and also to
the big advertising campaign of the
celebrated Goodrich Tires and Tubes,
starting in The Tribune this week,
which line is handled by the Jones Fill-
ing Station.
Some time ago Mr. Jones opened
his filling station and secured the a-
gency for Conoco Gasoline and Oils
and Goodrich Tires and Tubes, which
represent the very best on the market
and later added a good line of candies,
cigars, cigarettes and bottled cold
drinks." The quality of goods sold and
the accomodating service given by him
and his wife, who assists him, to all
has been the means of greatly increas-
ing his business, and he is now figur-
ing on building a modern filling sta-
tion so as to be better prepared to
serve his increasing trade. .
Drive over and see him for your gas
and oils, tires, tubes, confections, cig-
ars, cigarettes, cold drinks, etc. He
will appreciate a share of your trade
and you will be pleased with his ac-
comodating service.

The way some folks act it looks like they think they are going to live H
always. Take for instance the person who always has a chip on his |
shoulder and is daring someone to knock it off, or the person who
always wants his own way about everything. Never considers others
and never tries for the friendship of anyone—they are “Curious Crit- E
ters.” They are just not getting anywhere. They’re not kidding
anyone but themselves.
